Recently, there was a passing offer of untreated Akoya in silver shades 'round here.

Natural Color Akoya Pearls

The light golden and pinkish tally too. Especially since you are saying their colors are even more subtle in person then in the pictures.

Now, if this guess is right and they are akoya. Then you should have a good chance of finding one or two more pairs to mix in in appropriate places and lenghten the strand without spoiling its look. Even whites.
